Evaluating Ketamine and Psychological Sequelae

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the use of intravenous infusion of sub-anesthetic dosages of ketamine given for pain to combat casualties and emerging symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, sleep disruption, and risk of alcohol abuse as identified with behavioral health screening tools. Although ketamine has gained popularity as an analgesic agent, literature related to its psychological impact is sparse.
